About

Hi, I’m Sefako Ketosugbo. I’m a senior interior designer with 10+ years of experience crafting branded spatial environments for tech, entertainment, finance, and retail clients. I excel in FF&E specification, color and material storytelling, and translating a brand identity into compelling physical spaces. I also run SEEK STUDIO LLC, focusing on commercial workplace and residential projects that honor brand personality and lifestyle needs.

In addition to practice, I design and produce custom solid wood and stone furniture as a freelance furniture designer. I collaborate closely with fabricators and artisans from final drawings through production, and I value clear communication, mentorship, and guiding projects from concept to installation.
